There’s nothing like a savory loaf of freshly baked bread...But, how often do you get the privilege of taking a bite out of freshly baked local bread that came straight from the baker’s kitchen to your hands?

Last night Dishola and Whole Foods Market graciously invited a few food bloggers to a great meal to raise awareness of the dish-for-a-dish event going on right now.

The luscious aroma of garlic and melted cheese fills the air. A tall, dark guy with a hairnet is moving deftly about, pulling piping hot pizzas out of a large pizza oven, boxing them up, and sautéeing chicken on the stove.

Austin, I've been remiss. Somehow, inexcusably, I've not shown you one of my favorite low-cost lunches in town. I've probably been to Baguette House, oh, at least twenty times since they opened in the middle of 2008, and have tried every sandwich on the Vietnamese side of the menu.

On Thursdays, Quality Seafood Market has a peel and eat your own shrimp for $.25 a pop...The inside is quaint and old, like a true seafood joint by the harbor that feeds the hungry fishermen when they’re done with a days work.

My wonderful photographer and I were invited to a Cruzan Rum tasting dinner at 219 West. We've both done beer tastings and wine tastings, but spirit tasting was new to us.

Oh food stands shmood shtands (jk I ruv food stands). You know who really made walking up to a window and eating outside in Austin a trend? El Chilito, my friends.
